                     13: each specifed command.  If  the command is omitted, help prints a
                     14: simple description  of itself, followed by  information about the
                     15: command given by  $LASTERROR, which is the last command returning

                     26: looks in  /etc/helpfile for additional system  information and in
                     27: $HELP for user-specific information.  Information about a command
